Fresher Jokes That Donald Trump Sounds Like A Fart: Hailed As Comic Genius.

In the race for the Republican presidential candidacy, business magnate Donald Trump’s campaign has been severely damaged today after a fresher realised that his name sounds like the word to describe a fart.

The fresher in question, Billy Beagon, who has claimed no previous interest in politics, was in a conversation in the JMCC about the US presidential candidates when Mr Trump’s name was brought up. Immediately he declared, “Trump. Sounds like fart, dunnit?”

Within seconds, the diners at the JMCC were in uncontrollable fits of laughter. All of Pollock Halls residents soon gathered to join in the hilarity, including the poor scum from Fraser Court.

A reporter from Edinburgh Flipside managed to roundhouse-kick their way past the press from The Times, The Guardian, BBC News, Channel4 News and The Middlesbrough Mouth to get a statement from young Billy Beagon.

“I just opened my mouth and out it came,” said the reluctant satirical genius Billy Beagon. “I mean, it does sound like fart – how has no-one noticed this before?”

Billy Beagon went on to say that he had been offered posts on Mock the Week, Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show and even Prime Minister’s Question Time after his comments today.

Unfortunately, Billy Beagon declined our generous nine-figure starting salary to be chief editor at Edinburgh Flipside, stating that he had already garnished the same position at The Tab Edinburgh, making sure that no-one writes meat-headed articles about petty rivalries with St Andrew’s again. Idiots.
